To Whom It May Concern

With my respect and gratitude, I take it as a great honor to write to your Web site. I can get many informations from your Web site. Thank you.

I am Ok-hyeon Cho, one of the people of the Republic of Korea and a student of Hana Academy Seoul. I also work as an active member of the Dokdo Cyber Press, a non-governmental and voluntary organization with the mandate to provide correct information about Korea to the international community, including textbook publishers.

The reason that I send this e-mail to you is that I want to suggest respectfully some corrections to a map used in your Web site. To my great surprise, I found out that your map wrongly named the “East sea” as the “Sea of Japan” on the article’s picture.

The name of the sea between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago should be corrected to the “East sea.” At present, many international organizations including U. N. agencies have corrected ‘Sea of Japan’ to ‘East sea’ So I’d like to suggest that your web site should join this trend. As a Korean who is fully aware of how the island is enthusiastically beloved by our people, I could not help writing to you.

I humbly ask for your Web site to consider the issue of changing the “East sea” to the “Sea of Japan.” Or, at least, please name it both 'Sea of Japan' and 'East sea'. And if you want to get more specific information, visit the Web site (http://dokdo.mofat.go.kr)

I hope that this e-mail don’t offend you. And I’m very huge desire to receive an reply to my email. Thank you very much! (chooh123@naver.com).
